2. Lay uniform flat and
smooth out any wrinkles
Ensure cuff is fully-
extended and the cuff flap is
fastened to the first button
3. Turn sleeve inside out. Slide
the cuff up to and over sleeve
pocket, covering
approximately half of the
pocket (distance will vary due
to different sleeve lengths)
Continue to smooth fabric
and remove any wrinkles
throughout the entire
folding process
4. Fold outer edge of sleeve to
estimated midpoint of light-
colored material
< 3”
Folds must be less than 3”
to ensure the final fold will
completely cover all light-
colored material
5. Fold new outer edge of
sleeve to the bottom edge
of the cuff
Continue to smooth fabric
to aid proper folding
6. Fold the cuff over the
light-colored material of
the sleeve
3”
Tweak and peak fabric
and ensure all folds are
completely hidden
underneath the cuff. Once
complete, rolled sleeve will
form a 3” wide band
7. Repeat the same steps for
the other sleeve. Try to
match fold measurements
to create uniform length
When worn, the distance
from the bottom of the
sleeve to the elbow should
be approximately 2”
8. This fashion of rolling sleeves is designed to allow quick
unrolling. To unroll, grab the cuff only and pull downward
until completely extended. Re-button to fit wrist properly.
